Dear Andrew Riddell

I am writing to acknowledge receipt of your official information request dated 10 March 2018. We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible, and in any event no later than 10 April 2018, being 20 working days after the day your request was received. If we are unable to respond to your request by then, we will notify you of an extension of that timeframe.

Kind regards

Office of Hon David Parker

Dear Andrew Riddell

I refer to your official information request below.

The OIA requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20 working days after the day we received your request. It will not be possible to meet that time limit and we are therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our decision to 20 April 2018.

This extension is necessary because the consultation required to make a decision on your request is such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision.

Further to my email below, I am extending the time limit for responding to your request for a further 5 working days, until 1 May 2018. This is necessary because of the consultation required to make a decision on your request.
